Ahoy bronies, this is your captain speaking. I'm not the usual man behind the curtain with the journals, but bear with me, I'm new here.
Yes, I'm the new guy, at some point you've probably looked at the Knightmares group page and saw a red sword bearing pony. "Just who's handsome character is this?" You think to yourself. Well that's mine, his name is Deceit and he's got quite the story, but I'll get to him later.

For now, I'd like to discuss our next course of action.
We have all these characters and a story, but nothing done with them, no world to let them stretch their legs/wings/lethal weapons of mass destruction. So, as :iconstoppingpowerpro: (can I call you Pro?) said in the last journal, we need to get our act together and start making this story happen!
To help us in our quest, I've come up with a few points, nicely layed out in numbered form!

1: Set up a chat.
A chatroom is perfect for throwing info back and forth instantly, so this would be probably the best thing to do. We could easily get ideas or just chat about our characters.
Which brings me to point #2.

2: Accounts for everypony!
Since we have a proper picture with each of the Knightmares, I suggest we each make a novelty account for them. For example, I would make an account named "KnightmareDeceit" or something, and post in character as him in the chatroom. They would be like a plz account! :iconpinkiepieplz:

3: Back stories for everypony!
Since I'm new here, I don't know anyone or their characters here, so I think everyone should write a small bio for their Knightmare. It doesn't have to be good, it can be utter rubbish, it doesn't matter, I think we should just be sure that everyone knows who everyone else is.

4: Post them here!
Start out by posting a basic bio in the comments to this journal and we'll work them out from there. I'd really like to see each of their abilitys and personalitys.

So, that wall of text is my proposal. Obviously I just got here, so I'm not the leader of this little band, so let me know if I'm stepping on any toes here.
I think the most important step is getting everyone together first and heading out from there.

ALSO! I think it would be good if everyone posted what country they live in, so we know what time zones everyone lives in. Nothing is more frustrating then not knowing if someone is even awake or not :V

So that's that, my ideas on what we should do. I'm not forcing anyone here, just suggesting. I will go ahead and make the chatroom once I get the OK from you guys.
I've run out of things to say, so I'll post Deceit's story to get the ball rolling. But after that, it's midnight and I'm going to bed T_T

Arrivederci!

KnightmareSkye's avatar
Origin:
Skye was created in a lab, spliced together with dragon and unicorn DNA. He was an experiment created by a scientist of Nightmare Moon's. His purpose was to serve as a powerful member of her personal guard, but he never had that honor as his training was cut short before he was ready when Celestia defeated Nightmare Moon. He managed to escape unnoticed by the royal guard and slipped off into seclusion.

Personality:
Despite his intended purpose, Skye is actually a fairly peaceful individual. Though he has not ever been part of a large community, he has met various individuals through his travels…Some of which he could possibly even call his 'friend'. Despite his peaceful side however, within his spirit rages an internal conflict…Between always wanting to return to the purpose he was created for, to be a warrior of the night…Or to turn from his intended purpose to live a peaceful existence. Neither option seems to work well within his favor, his compassionate nature causes him guilt for misdeeds, or even prevents him from acting upon crueler impulses, but in the end his blood thirst is unquenchable. While he has made few friends on his travels…He has slayed many foes.

Bio:
He is a powerful being, wielding strength of both dragon and unicorn…Along with training to take on the fiercest of foes. To friends he is a guardian, a protector. He would never give his life for another, but only because he never intends to fail those he calls 'friend'. He has a darkness within him, the presence of violence, fear, sorrow, and rage fuels it; giving his magic potency and giving him a fierce demeanor. He has resisted this darkness for his entire life, the constant reminders from other ponies calling him a monster and an abomination hammer away at his shell. He gained a large foothold against the darkness upon meeting a lovely mare, she helped to show him he wasn't a monster by believing in his compassion and seeing the kindness within him. Sadly this was shattered on one fateful night when the darkness took over his actions, causing the death of a stallion the mare deeply cared for...Leading to her losing hope in the monster. The darkness within took this opportunity to further taint Skye's psyche, turning him from his peaceful ways and leading him further into his life as a monstrous Knightmare.

Weakness:
The ever present war within his soul constantly tears at his psyche, giving him no rest within even his own mind. Despite his compassionate nature, deep within is a dark cruelty, hammered into his soul since his creation through both his training and the life he lived as an outcast. He tries not to stay too long in the dark as it gives him an unwanted comfort...Making it easier for him to commit unspeakable acts. Often when he enters a state of anger his rage fuels the darkness, blinding him and making it difficult to differentiate friend from foe. This darkness has caused his life to be a path of regret, further brining him to the realization that he is an abomination.

[Dark Spirit]
Here we go, the dark spirit's profile, why? Because it's a separate entity and should have its own profile. ^^
----------------------------------
Name:
Known simply as the 'Dark Spirit' it has never spoken its true name

Age:
Unknown

Personality:
Wicked, malicious, deceitful, manipulative, dangerous, vicious, bloodthirsty, unquenchable, destructive.

Bio:
The dark spirit was implanted into Skye's soul long ago during his (Skye) creation, its purpose was to keep Skye on the path of darkness and hold back any sympathy Skye may feel towards his foes. One might wonder why the scientists didn't merely just put the dark spirit alone in the drakorn's vessel. It's simple really, the spirit has no allies and sees everypony as a possible snack, without Skye's peaceful nature keeping the spirit in check they would not have a guard but an unquenchable killing machine. In short the two spirits balance each other out, Skye keeps the darkness' more vicious impulses at bay while the dark spirit helps push along the peaceful Skye to perform his duties.

Of course in the end Skye's training was never complete, he had never reached full indoctrination with the night as the process was interrupted by Celestia's knights. Skye fled and managed to escape the battle, but ever since his spirit has been unstable, the darkness trying to take over.

Then one day the darkness managed to gain a strong hold over Skye, taking over as the dominant force and piloting the drakorn on a murderous rampage, this day the Knightmare was born. Once he was captured and sentenced to permanent solitude within a gem it only served the darkness further. It had Skye right where it needed him, alone, forgotten, and despised by all.

The darkness is still waiting for the perfect moment, the day when its host is finally killed. For it is not a typical parasite…It doesn't require the host to be alive, in fact once Skye is killed…The darkness is freed from all inhibitions…Able to defy even Skye's physical limitations from pain and fear of death.

Power:
The spirit's true power cannot be realized until its host has been eliminated, only having the power of suggestion and control until then.
Its powers after the death of the host include:
manipulating its vessel like a weapon, any piece be it organ or bone can become deadly under its influence
It can reconstruct the vessel should it need to and feels no pain.
Its aura can inflict blindness upon its foes and can even silence screams and freeze blood.

Weakness:
The dark spirit's only true weakness is Skye's peaceful nature, the only thing holding it back from its plans of destruction and chaos.

Though its aura is rendered powerless in the sun, the light doesn't hurt the vessel.

Even though the spirit can not truly be obliterated by any physical means, if its vessel were to be utterly destroyed it would have to find a new host.
